The Oct 13 docket comes home: eleven for eleven — the AI-in-schools resolution and the PS #9 sale both pass

All eleven Oct 13 filings now read “Passed” — with their permanent numbers verified

Yesterday at 7 AM, the council’s eleven temporary filings — TMP-0855 through TMP-0864, plus TMP-086 — every one sat at “Referred,” fifteen days after the meeting that introduced them. This morning, every one reads “Passed,” each with an Oct 13 pass date, and each has traded its temporary number for a permanent one: RES.169-2026 through RES.173-2026, SO.49-2026 through SO.53-2026, and LL.10-2026. The matter histories tell the same story in three fields: introduced Oct 2–5, docketed for the Oct 13 meeting, and passed Oct 13 — all eleven checked this morning, every one showing that sequence. Nothing from that docket was pending or held back — eleven items, eleven passes. It’s the second time this fall the record has settled a meeting weeks after the gavel: the Sept 29 docket resolved the same way on Oct 20, right down to the TMP-to-permanent renumbering. One mechanics note for anyone following along in Legistar: the renumbering reads like an item vanished and a different one appeared — match on the matter ID, not the file number, and it’s the same item (1976 was TMP-0856 yesterday and RES.171-2026 today).

The headline items, by their permanent numbers verified

The AI-in-schools resolution is RES.171-2026. Its full title: “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YONKERS URGING THE YONKERS PUBLIC SCHOOLS BOARD OF EDUCATION TO ADOPT AGE-APPROPRIATE RESTRICTIONS ON STUDENT USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS SO THAT YONKERS STUDENTS FIRST DEVELOP THE CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS THEY WILL NEED TO USE SUCH TECHNOLOGY WELL.” It’s an urging, not a mandate — the school board decides — but the council has now put its position on the record unanimously-filed: the title carries “(ALL COUNCILMEMBERS.)”

The former PS #9 sale passed the Council: LL.10-2026 — “LOCAL LAW – AUTHORIZING THE CONVEYANCE OF THE FORMER PUBLIC SCHOOL # 9 FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF SAID PROPERTY. (POSITIVE FISCAL IMPACT.) (COUNCILMEMBER DIAZ.)” Legistar shows the Council vote; the record does not yet show any later steps (mayoral approval, filing), so “passed” is exactly as far as the evidence goes. The conveyance has taken a winding path: its first version, TMP-0813, sat on the Sept 15 docket and never passed — our gated checks watched its status field read “Tabled” at the Oct 1 check and “Withdrawn” by Oct 8 (status fields often land days after the meeting night itself). It returned as a fresh filing — matter 1984, introduced Oct 2, its sponsorship line now reading “(COUNCILMEMBER DIAZ.)” — and passed Oct 13; the record just took two weeks to say so.

The money items: the $20,000.00 Santos/Aponte settlement is RES.170-2026 — Raquel Santos and Jassity Aponte, who both allege excessive force “DURING AN ONGOING MELEE AT 155 SOUTH BROADWAY (MCDONALDS) ON MARCH 17, 2023.” Four grant acceptances totaling $1,812,576.01: SO.49-2026, $30,000 from the Field Hall Foundation; SO.50-2026, $202,648.00 in state 2026/2027 CHIPS funding from the NYSDOT; SO.51-2026, $285,304.00 in federal 2026 ESG funding (Year 52) from HUD; SO.52-2026, $1,294,624.01 in federal 2026 HOME grant funding (Year 52) from HUD — that’s $30,000 + $202,648.00 + $285,304.00 + $1,294,624.01 = $1,812,576.01. SO.53-2026 amends the 2026/2027 budget to add three new positions in the Department of Information Technology. And RES.169-2026 approves the intermunicipal agreement with the Town of Greenburgh for use of the Yonkers Police and Fire Special Operations Training Center, flagged “POSITIVE FISCAL IMPACT.” The two ceremonial items: RES.172-2026, recognizing Italian Heritage and declaring Oct 12, 2026 Columbus Day in Yonkers, and RES.173-2026, a Commissioner of Deeds appointment.

Last night in seventeen rows: minutes, and nothing else verified

The Oct 27 stated meeting ran its slim final agenda to the letter — 7:00 PM, City Hall, Council Chambers (4th Floor): roll call, the Pledge, the standing sections, and the one substantive line, “Minutes of the Stated Meeting held on Tuesday, October 13, 2026 approved by motion of Majority Leader Rubbo.” Then the two placeholders introduced Oct 21 (TMP-0867, TMP-0868): no old items, no new items. Seventeen agenda rows, zero legislation — and this morning the docket’s outcomes are in the record anyway. The other thread from yesterday is quieter but not gone: the 6:30 PM public-hearing slot on the D-MX/UR-HD rezoning carried no live business — the event still sits on the calendar this morning with its agenda “Hidden,” its notice filing TMP-0866 still reads “Withdrawn,” and the rezoning ordinance itself (TMP-0811) is still “Referred,” its last recorded action a Sept 9 referral. No vote, and no new hearing posted. With that, October’s City Hall calendar is finished, and nothing is scheduled after it: the city’s events feed lists no meeting of any kind beyond Oct 27 as of this morning. The council’s standing 2nd-and-4th-Tuesday rhythm points to Nov 10 and Nov 24 — neither posted yet; when the clerk files them, they’ll land on our Government page first.

Four days left, any site in the county works verified

Today’s Wednesday hours are 8 AM–4 PM. After today: Thursday 12 PM–8 PM, Friday 8 AM–4 PM, and Saturday & Sunday 10 AM–6 PM, closing the nine-day period on Sunday, November 1. You can vote at any of the county’s 25 sites — Yonkers’ three: Grinton I. Will Library (1500 Central Park Avenue), Nodine Hill Community Center (140 Fillmore Street), and Riverfront Library (One Larkin Center). Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, and early-voting results get canvassed and reported after 9 PM that night. One change from last cycle, straight off the county’s page: “The Joseph G. Caputo Community Center has been replaced with St. Ann’s School for this year” — that’s the Ossining site, not a Yonkers one.

Firefighter exam: applications through Nov 25 verified Oct 5
